A surprise incident took place at the Elysee Palace in Paris during the official ceremony of Slovakia’s President Peter Pellegrin of his counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.

From the videos that go around, there’s a man from the honor guard who fell suddenly.

Macron, along with staff members, rushed to the guard to see what had happened.

Soon the workers picked him up and removed him from the scene.

After the man left, the French president returned to the planned procedure and continued formally welcoming his Slovak counterpart.

So far, the reasons that led to the sudden collapse of the guard have not been clarified, while no information about his state of health has been made public. /Telegraphy/
